      Deleted a tag using sourcetree from remote

      a. Right click any branch, select Tag

      b. Select Remove Tag tab

      c. Select the tag I want to remove, check box Remove tag from all remotes
      Other developers have a copy of this tag on their local machine, when they push a branch sourcetree allows to push tags along with branches which re-creates the deleted tag. I can ask developers to uncheck "Push all tags"  or I could also ask them to delete local tags manually but this not a solution I am looking for. 

      Is there a way in sourcetree using which users can delete local tags which are no more existing on remote? I cannot see it in sourcetree 2.1.2.4 version. 

      Could you please help if this feature exists or not? I see that the fix version is 1.4.0 for this issue SRCTREEWIN-1309 .

      Regards,
      Swetha

            Using MacOS version V4.1.3 (239)

            The fetch dialogue currently shows:

            • Fetch from all remotes
            • Prune tracking branches no longer present on remote(s)
            • Fetch and store all tags locally

            Extending the fetch dialogue to include:

            • Prune local tags no longer present on remote(s)

            would seem be the perfect solution here.

            Ticking that new checkbox would add "--prune-tags" option to the git command that is executed.

            There may be a need to know and/or check which version of git is in play if the "--prune-tags" option is relatively new compared to what the minimum git version is for use with SourceTree when NOT using the bundled version.

             

            As a developer, this is the sort of small task that would be great as an introduction to the code if I had access. Making SourceTree open source (or at least a community edition from which you can pull quality PRs) would be, and please excuse my language, effing fantastic and would allow us to do so much more.
